🩸 Tuesday 14th April – Blackburn Bus Station (10:00–16:00)

We’re back in the community offering fast PSA testing for prostate cancer – a simple finger prick test that only takes a minute and could save your life.

Over 400 men locally have already taken a moment for their health. Early detection matters – 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Alongside PSA testing, our Health & Wellbeing Coaches with the re:fresh Blackburn with Darwen team will also be with us on the van throughout the day, offering free, confidential, one-to-one support.

Every year in the UK, more than 63,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Far too many men find out at a later stage, when it's harder to treat.

Prostate cancer accounts for 17% of all stage three and stage four cancer diagnoses in England – more than any other cancer type.

With every day that passes without a full screening programme, more men miss out on the chance to find their prostate cancer early.

Our TRANSFORM trial is our best shot at securing the evidence we need to save thousands of men from late diagnosis.
